ATTENTION!
This guide requires basic knowledge in making a working sound.bin
If you don't know how to, read this tutorial by gundalf (member of 0RANGECHiCKEN):
Tools you will need (as it relates solely to looping sound.bin files]:
- WAVosaur [Freeware]
1. Getting Started
Using Audacity, open an audio file and convert it to a WAV with 16bit PCM mono
Trim it to the length audio sample you want, but don't forget that a sound.bin is really just a short tune, and should be kept under about 15 seconds [Not a hard and fast rule though]
2. WAVosour is here!
Open the audio file you just made in WAVosaur
Activate the loop mode
3. Editing
With loop mode activated, WAVosour will loop the part of the audio you have selected with the cursor
This is helpful to founding a correct looping point in your sound file.
4. Setting the Loop Point
If you have found an perfect point, then just go to TOOLS > LOOP > CREATE LOOP POINTS
5. Finish
Now save it, rename it to sound.bin and sign it with the IMD5 Signer.

How to make sound.bin
gundalf said:What you need:
-audacity (download)
-IMD5 Signer (download)
1. Setup audacity
Go to the Preferences(ctrl+p) and check if WAV 16bit PCM is set.
2. Speaking about the Sound and problems
Remember that the Wii Banner can use only uncompressed wave sound.
This is verry limiting, so think what kind of music you want to use and keep it as short as possible.
What we can do to keep file size short? Well thats simple, just use Mono, insteed of Stereo.
Your Sound.bin should'nt be bigger then 2MB. Try to keep it allways under 1MB or the Channel take longer to load.
3. Make it Mono!
Just drag and drop your file to the Windows.
Select on the Track Split Stereo Track.
Now your track will split in two seperated parts, but that doesnt mean they are now in Mono, you have to set that by hand.
Click on the name of each(left and right) Track and select Mono:
After that you select "Export As Wav", you will get an warning that your exported file will saved as mono(thats what we want), klick OK.
As Name make Sound.bin.
4. Sign the Sound.bin
Start md5sig.exe, select the sound.bin and klick on "Firmar".
After that you can repack the Sound.bin with the 00.app.
I hope my Tutorial could help you.
